Despite his success, Lynne has spoken of his aversion to the stereotypical rock star lifestyle. Reflecting on the 1970s, he told ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine: "I was reluctant to become a real rock star. I was shy and was always told to not get a big head. And my favourite thing in the world was to work 14 hours a day in the studio. Everything else was peripheral to me, like having the record out and promoting it. I did have a big house, but I didn't do rock-star things. I never saw myself like that. I was a songwriter, singer and producer. Rock stars are different. They dress all flashy and hang out in nightclubs. That just wasn't my priority. I liked to spend my spare moments at the pub."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Greene |first=Andy |date=2016-01-21 |title=ELO's Jeff Lynne: My Life in 15 Songs |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/elos-jeff-lynne-my-life-in-15-songs-29250/ |access-date=28 December 2023 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref>
